Leonid meteor shower to peak Tuesday - Nasa Meteor - WKRG.com: "This year's Leonid meteor shower will peak early Tuesday, forecasters say, producing mild but pretty sparks over the United States and a more intense outburst over Asia.

'We're predicting 20 to 30 meteors per hour over the Americas and as many as 200 to 300 per hour over Asia,' said Bill Cooke, of NASA's meteoroid environment office. 'Our forecast is in good accord with ... work by other astronomers.'"
